After finishing my animation, I can see how it would be helpful for future reference and plans. I feel that it would be a very good teaching tool, as previously mentioned. As I have included a strip of text at the bottom throughout the video explaining what each idiom was, there is no guessing or ambiguity involved. However, if I took this element out then it would be much less obvious as to what the meaning behind each idiom was, and it would be handy in helping others try to understand the concepts of idioms. As far as it being a teaching tool is concerned, I plan to try out my idea and see if it genuinely would be a convenient way to teach people about English sayings.
What I plan to do is have a class full of either foreigners or children, then showing them the video without the text and have them right down what they believe each idiom is, and see how accurate they are. I think it would be interesting to see just how helpful and relevant my animation is as a second opinion is always beneficial. Then depending on the answers, I could help them understand how each idiom works and the principle behind it.
What follows is my lesson plan.
